Anak krakatoa was created by the explosions. It is in the middle of the island which was partly destroyed

The fourth explosion caused a giant tsunami (bigger than those created by the other three) which destroyed many coastal towns in the Saundra strait . The Tsunami managed to cause small sea level oscillations as far as the English channel

2. Ash fell on Singapore 840 km to the N, Cocos (Keeling) Island 1155 km to the SW, and ships as far as 6076 km WNW. Darkness covered the Sundra Straits from 11 a.m. on the 27th until dawn the next day.
